Arm announces the "Iot" embedded mbed OS system software platform

Following arm's release of a Cortex-M7 architecture processor for embedded microcontroller design, arm also announced a new version of the software and system platform designed for low-cost and low-power "Iot, to accelerate the development and deployment of Iot devices. This software is an mbed platform designed based on the existing arm cortex-M architecture, including a free embedded mbed OS Operating System and the software toolkit mbed device server, the company said that "the server-side technologies required to connect and manage devices in a safe way" and arm aims to build "bricks" for Iot devices using basic mbed software ", iot device vendors can focus on adding more new features to their products and stand out from the market.

Arm said mbed OS will be provided free of charge to developers and device manufacturers. The source code of the operating system is constructed based on sensinode acquired by arm last year, and the other is based on "internal development" and Apache 2.0 certification, most operating systems are open-source, but some components are open to arm partners. Developers will be able to write their own applications in the C ++ language. The operating system also supports a variety of network standards, including 3G, LTE, Bluetooth Smart, Wi-Fi and 6 towpan.

At present, many companies have joined the mbed OS and mbed device server device camps, including Ericsson, feisikar, IBM, rensa electronics, St Italian semiconductor and other large manufacturers, arm has planned to provide partners with the "Early Development" version of mbed OS this quarter, and is expected to display its first production device using the system next year.
